As for the fueling with passengers problem it is truly a country by country issue. Here in the U.S. there must be at least one open door with either stairs or jetway connected, also a fire engine must be present. For other countries, like Germany, it is much less strict and on the other end of the spectrum there is Peru who doesn't allow the practice at all.</font>
Sure about that for US? I had an ORD bound flight divert to MKE over the summer due to thunderstorms. Refueling at MKE was done with doors closed.
